It all comes crumbling down….I am glad to be here and now to witness the slow crumbling death that is the Republican Party. We are at a tipping point in political history, Reagan style Republicans and their base of neo-conservative, idealogical idiots are on the decline. You can witness it with a major shift in middle.Proof - last election. At some point someone will step up and realize that extreme right-minded leaders are not doing what is in their(middle) best interest. After all the middle - 50-60% is what decides the elections the people that can vote either way based on what feels right instead voting how they are told. and the Middle is Restless.

Personally, I’m sick of all of the stereotyping that goes on between the two parties. The fact of the matter is that we’re involved in a foreign country (a move that I am positive many of the folks who are now against our involvement once agree with or at least didn’t oppose). Our involvement was not well thought out and was (and I say this without trivializing the issue) a mistake. Everyone has agreed to that including Bush and his administration, the difference is some people have lost (never had?) faith in the possible outcome, others have not (wishful thinking?).Personally, I feel that submitting a “war-deadline” is a unreasonable (at least, the way that it is currently being proposed). Many of the (freely elected) people developing the framework for the future of Iraq, while uneasy about us being there in the first place, are just as uneasy about us leaving at this time. I feel like submitting a withdrawal deadline would be saying, “ok, we screwed up … Good luck.”I feel the best solution would be to raise the voices of the people of Iraq and PUBLICLY ask their leaders (both appointed and of the people) what it is they want us to do, ending all of the speculation, silencing both sides of this stupid political circus. There is much too much focus on the reputations of republicans / democrats, and not enough focus on what is best for Iraq and who should rightfully be making that determination (the Iraqis, perhaps?).

Just stirring the pot…

You trust something from the “Nation”. I think not…. The “poll” may be correct, but “The Nation.” There’s “fair and balanced for you.” Not nearly enough information about the poll. The lead questions, the specifics of who’s voting (For instance, if I know a pollster is looking for a particular point of view, I’ll pretend to be the opposite of what I am and give them the opposite answer, just to mess with ‘em).This really ain’t a story…it’s more propaganda (from the left side. The right side has its own propaganda, too… Just realize what it is and move on).

No rly.

“I feel for you…so misled. We ‘NEED’ to be there? No, we don’t. Iraq is not OUR war. It is a civil war between Iraqis. Let them fix their own mess and let’s get our troops back home. Then, maybe we can fix things like New Orleans.”Misled? That’s a funny way to turn around things. It seems to me most of the Middle East problems were caused by Western countries. Check your history books and start reading at the chapter about WW I. And be surprised.I’m not just criticizing the US here, people, most European countries are to blame too. GB, France just to name a few. So don’t go telling these people have their own problems. ‘We’ created them.

“this technique (home invasions) was not carried out to target specific militant activity, but to instill fear.”Now, this is something that Zionist Apologists routinely deny but here are dozens of IDF soldiers confirming it, and stating that they hope other soldiers will continue to speak out against, with the hope that it one day will STOP.And this is all that we have been saying all along - that the IDF will stop using such terror tactics. It seems like such a small thing to ask for, doesn’t it?
